3/12/12 I am somewhat back- in -action
WELL!Happy 2012 a little late! Sadly, I ended2011 with a massive hemorragic(sp?) stroke that bled out some more! Count myself very lucky not to be a vegetable, though! It seems the you really do get wh... Read more

Hello, dear friends!
Man, it has been a good year overall. I really can't remember thinking that in the last decade before now. I always feel there could have been more that I could have accomplished but I have learned to be happy with w... Read more

Well, going 'off track' is always a problem. I wasn't totally off during my hiatus but it crept slowly in until I was. SOSOld..... Thankfully, I reigned myself back in. Just noticed the sallow skin, the bags under my eyes, the tired, achey, s... Read more

I like astrology. I find it interesting to correlate things with the planets. Here is what I read this morning about the new moon:
On September 8, we have a New Moon in Virgo at 10:31 am UTC. (6:30 am EDT, 3:30 am PDT). This New Moon is a... Read more

Man! I have been OOC! The scale registers 10 pounds of 'found' weight. I know it is partly water from all the salty foods but still I am guessing I put at least 5 pounds back on.....I could not really identify the cause until last night. It ... Read more

Hmmmm.....I went to the 'dark side' this week. It began on Saturday and I wrestled with it through Wednesday. I have been abandoning my food plan, avoiding my food diary and the scale, and flat out refusing to exercise.
I believe a full... Read more

Well, I have finally finished cleaning up my basement post washing machine flooding! Tomorrow, I will do the final job that I have been putting off for years - sorting out all the screws, nails, miscellaneous bits of things that have been colle... Read more

GREAT day! Shopping, 'creating', feeding plants, planting, watering, laundry, grilling, exercising, shower....now, relaxing. Whew!
Now that I am 'jogging' more with my DVDs, I need to buy a sports bra! It has been a long time since I nee... Read more

I have decided to 'think aloud' on here while I am getting things back together. Sorry if this bores anyone!
Today, I went grocery shopping for my 'regular' food items and it felt GREAT! Watermelon, grapefruit, canteloupe, apples,banana... Read more

Well, the Atkins experiment was a bust. Two weeks of walking on the wild side of fats, grease, cream, and cheese but not one pound of weight loss! I did learn a few things, though. Most importantly, fats definitely KILL your appetite. So on ... Read more

Well, I am sorry to report a total binge day of 1985 calories. I think I am done. I am sickly full. I will not crucify myself with toxic guilt but I will not 'sweep it under the carpet' and tell myself it is alright, either. I am not exactly... Read more

Still feeling pretty good! Although today, my issue is exactly opposite of the other day. Hormones are getting the best of me and I am REALLY hungry. If I stay on track for the rest of the day, I will be at the upper limit of my calorie range... Read more

Well! I am still on the high side of things! I know this sounds really weird for an overeater but I am having trouble keeping my calories up. When I keep myself busy, it is hard to remember to eat. Also, I forgot my new rule of adding some f... Read more

FINALLY, I am back in action! My leg is healed - it has been six weeks!! Today I did my full 5 mile DVD with all the high impact boosting! YAY! That was after 3.5 hours out in the yard! I feel like I can finally get back on track!... Read more

So, Week 14, the start of month #4. I have had what I think are great successes but still I feel negative starting this month out! I need some help! I think this month I will focus on inches. Food is going well, exercise needs to be increased... Read more
